I want Torts to refuse to be behind the bench — but in November, not April — while the team is too afraid to fire him. So we get Jim Jackson calling it an “innovative” coaching style. Comparing it to a DC in the NFL watching from above. But instead of above, from the locker room. Or sitting at home.

I would actually watch an entire game, if there was a laptop behind the bench with Torts zooming in from home. I want to see Rocky holding it up to the sides of players heads, so he can yell at them.

To pick in the 10-14th range has always been the Flyers' sexiest wet dream.

If your post is indicative to the way the future unfolds, then... Same as it ever was.

I am f***ing sick of Ground Hog Day, man. Bill Murray actually dies in this movie.
If they finished 2nd, they'd lose the lottery or end up with the next JVR.
Be careful what you wish for. :naughty:

How do you have any idea how the lottery will pan out or any of the players in future drafts?

Stop letting old history dictate the future. Incorrectly choosing JVR 2OA was a decision. It doesn't have any bearing outside that particular draft itself.

Be careful what you wish for.

I remember that R.L. Stine Goosebumps book, too.

It doesn't matter if he's fired or not. This organization does not have a real plan. Torts is just a symptom and not the main issue.


Yep. A long trend now shows that you can fire Tortorella, and they'll hire someone else bad and then try to have them run a defensive system whether they know how or not.


Another long-term trend is that they have been going down my list of coaches I most want to avoid, so there's a solid chance they promote Lappy or hire Eakins. At least watching Eakins attempt to run a defensive scheme will be peak comedy.

Sullivan will be out of Pittsburgh by the end of next year, they're primed to implode, and the HC always gets the blame. Might last one more year due to his contract extension.

Not even a joke anymore. Participating in sexual abuse is not disqualifying for a much more important job than hockey coach, so what’s stopping a desperate team with lots of money hiring Q? Because of potential criticism on social media? It would be mostly positive reactions on the biggest platform. And fans who pay to go to games would not be put off one iota.

I want to stand behind Torts and hold a "Fire Me" sign up to the glass during every stoppage. But there's no way I can afford that shit
